Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    How is it a non-issue? It is exactly the issue that Deviance brought up. What you've posted is a non-issue, given that I never once said homosexuality is correct because people engage in it. I doubt that anyone in here said that.
    I do not care what Deviance is arguing, I was making a point based on the issue of moral or immoral, right or wrong, correct or incorrect. This is the nth time you seem to be avoiding it and now blaming me as bringing up the non-issue.

      The concept of morality can be many ways but the action being taken to moralize the demoralized is a different toll.
      I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

        Wrong. Just ask the typical gay guy that you see on the street. He will tell you that he has given himself up totally, completely, hopelessly, to the theory that homosexuality is genetic and that therefore it was meant to be. Not to ignore the other side of the issue, i.e. considering it a genetic FLAW and thus trying to find a cure for it. Regardless, most gay people think it's a good idea if it's proven to be genetic. I certainly don't care.
        No. I am basing my argument on actual feedback from homosexuals. Some do some don't. Read more carefully. You do care otherwise you would not comment on it.

          Does anyone in here understand the concept of an analogy? You said that because homosexuality is a genetic flaw (I'm guessing because it prevents them from breeding) it is morally wrong. That obviously means that all genetic flaws are morally wrong, which is an absurdity. Do you believe a man to be morally flawed because he suffers from sickle-cell anemia?



          Pay attention Mousy, because this right here is relativism. He just defined morally right as that which falls into accordance with an accepted norm. I doubt any such thing even exists. Certainly there is no one set of genetic traits that can exclusively be called the "norm." Are we now to consider albinos morally bad people?
          Your analogy is way off. We do understand it it is just not valid or comparable in this case. Look Adam, not to sound too redundant but "keep your day job." I mean if you cannot see what I was implying with my two cents of the share then refrain from critiquing what I said.
          I'm sorry that I was such an idiot.

            We as a whole should not let erroneous "genetic flaws" roam about without getting it possibly "fixed."

              This sounds apocryphal as it is unlikely that you can base your argument and assertions on that.

                I’m a little reluctant to accept genetics as a predisposition to homosexuality but I’ve read some case studies that claim to “prove” this. A guy named Dean Hamer interviewed 110 families with gay male members and noticed that it seems to run in the family line. He also noticed that it was usually the mother’s brother who was also gay and not the father. This suggested that the “gay gene” was on the X chromosome. He and his colleagues found a region in the Xq28 (the tip of the long arm of the chromosome). Apparently, gay men share the same version of the genetic marker 25% of the time and straight men shared a different version of it 75% of the time.
                Just because it runs in the family doesn't mean it's genetic.. I mean, it could just as well be the upbringing. There is no gay person in my entire family line. You need very good/significant numbers in order to prove that it's genetic.

                    It's just ONE possibility.

                    His study ruled out coincidence with 99% confidence.

                      So you never imagine yourself having a wife, a family, kids?
